Mooseheart Legion For Men and Women
322. All members who join this society agree to boost all three of these organizations and to make every effort to increase the membership ox each of the three organizations.
Such societies should be formed throughout the Legion over the country because such a combination is a value to all three branches of the L. O. O. M. in any territory.
Women’s Legion Notes
Hartford (Conn.) Chapter No. 45
has changed its meetings to the first and third Monday of the month instead of the second and fourth Thursday. This arrangement was found more satisfactory to the Legionaires in Hartford Chapter who are making a special effort at this time to increase their membership.
Schenectady Chapter No. 188 is very active at this time in an endeavor to increase its membership. The Chapter has been holding many social affairs interesting the people of their city into the opportunities afforded in their Chapter. The Chapter recently raffled a beautiful quilt, which the members had made, which enriched their Chapter treasury $43.00. The L. 0. O. M. home in Schenectady will soon be finished and the Chapter expects to make a further increase in membership at that time.
Sir Joseph Davies, formerly Secretary to Prime Minister David Lloyd George, and now a member of the British Parliament, London, England, read the convention issue of the Magazine and noted that the Order requested $1.00 from each member for the Permanent Building Fund. He sends his cheek for double that amount. He is one of the strong men of Gre־>t Britain, and visited this country on a special British Mission during the great war. He is a good loy-'l Moose and a warm personal friend of Director General James J. Davis. He has agreed to accept one of the honorary (no salary) responsible places of the Order in Europe. As he says, he is a Moose because of MOOSEHEART and the great work we are doing for children. Lady Davies is also a strong supporter and advocate of the care and education of children, and one of the leading social workers of the British Empire.

The Armistice Day announcement which came from the Grand Regent’s office to the effect that all Legionaires would continue wearing the fez overseas style in honor of the men who gave their services during the war and many of whom made the supreme sacrifice, met with the hearty approval of the Legionaires who have been so patriotic and appreciative of the service rendered by our soldiers during the recent conflict, because they are always ready to co-operate in anything that might repay these men for the great and noble work they did for our country in co-operating with the Allies for the cause of freedom. Therefore, wear your fez “overseas style.”

Legion Notes—Men
Forward Legion No. 191 recently held one of the best Frolics ever held in that District. The meeting was held at Madison, Wis., and a large c'ass of candidates was initiated, and Legionaires from over the entire district were present. Fred H. Rogers is the new Great North Moose of this district, and is expecting a big membership increase during the coming year.
Mecca Legion No. 11 with headquarters at MOOSEHEART held a b:g Frolic on Oct. 26th at the LaSalle Hotel in Chicago which turned out to be one of the best and biggest Frolics ever held by the Mecca district. The Legionaires enjoyed a light luncheon during the evening. A splendid exemplification of the ritual was given to the candidates, and was followed by a very extensive burlesque initiation.
Great North Moose L. I. Wilson of Unity Legion No. 6 with headquarters at Los Angeles reports wonderful progress in that district. .Unity Legion has shown a sudden increase in membership and from all indications the same will be doubled very shortly. This district includes some of the biggest Lodges in the Loyal Order of Moose and the Legionaires in that district should have little difficulty in attaining the goal they have set.
Biwabik Chapter No. 224. Legrionaires assembled after big celebration
Hampton Roads Legion No. 199 has
consolidated with Wonder City Legion which was instituted at Hopewell, Va., two years ago. The combination of these two districts furnishes material for one of the biggest districts in the organization. Hampton Roads already has one of the most successful districts in the Legion and with such an addition will undoubtedly contend for first honors early next year. Deputy Grand Regent Mifka is now making arrangements for the next big Frolic.
stand the Legion and its purposes and will be welcomed into the Beaver Legion with open arms.
West Virginia Legion No. 98, which was instituted at Huntington and Kanawha Valley Legion No. 123, instituted at Charleston, W. Va., have consolidated. The Legionaires in these two districts have seen the value of consolidating their efforts, and have arranged to hold fewer Frolics each year but make these Frolics of the highest type possible. This system has proved very successful in this new district. This plan allows the Legionaires to put each Frolic on in great style so that everybody present may be assured of a good time. Arrangements have already been made in this new district for a large increase in
membership which means that the next Frolic will be one of the greatest ever given in West Virginia.
The Legionaires living at Buffalo and belonging to Progress Legion No. 62 have formed a very fine society which will be known as a Booster Society. These boys have selected a badge which will be their emblem upon which will be the word “Booster” and the numbers 8, 62 and 322. These numbers represent Buffalo Lodge No. 8, Progress Legion No. 62 and the Women of Mooseheart Legion No.
ward success recently when the boys from Corvallis, Ore., announced that they wanted to assist in the upbuilding of the Legion in that district. This district since its institution has not made the progress which was possible but the announcement from Corvallis is sufficient assurance to anyone that the success of this Legion is now only a matter of time. Corvallis has been transferred from Columbia district to the Beaver district in order that they might give their assistance toward the upbuilding of this territory. The boys from Corvallis under-
Egyptian Legion No. 115 has consolidated with Mississippi Valley Legion No. 117 and both are now concentrating their efforts on all Legion matters. Deputy Regent Ben F. Mayes, formerly of Pittsburgh, Kans., is the Master of Work in this consolidated district and reports progress already. Egyptian Legion was instituted at Murphysboro, 111., in February, 1919. Louis T. Miller of St. Louis is the Herder of the new district and is very busy at this time writing receipts for dues.

GOLDEN ffEDD IN G
“Oh, for the Golden Wedding
And the songs we used to sing,
Telling of Earthly joys, my boys,
Found in a wedding ring.”
In the early days at MOOSEHEART when much of the. system was still in the experimental stages, it remained for one of the faithful brothers of Philadelphia Lodge to give material evidence of his sound belief in the principles of MOOSEHEART and as a testimonial of this, belief to make as a present direct to the students, one of the most useful gifts the Institution has yet received.
Honorable Simon Abrahams, of Philadelphia Lodge No. 54, without solicitation, presented Mooseheart with a complete uniform for every male student.
On October 17th the MOOSEHEART Governors received the following acknowledgment: “Mr. and Mrs. Simon Abrahams acknowledge with thanks your kind remembrance on the occasion of their fiftieth wedding anniversary.” And so it is recorded that MOOSEHEART’S sterling friend, Honorable Simon Abrahams of Philadelphia with his good wife and happy family about him has reached the fiftieth milestone in life’s matrimonial journey and it is a pleasure to record the fact that the golden wedding celebration called forth thousands of congratulatory communications.

Great North Moose Oliver J. Audet of Merrimac Valley Legion No. 39 advises that the Legionaires in No. 39 wish to issue the warning that their Legion district will soon take the lead as one of the biggest and liveliest I egions in the New England States. Merrimac Valley Legion recently held a big Frolic initiating a large class of candidates with prospects of initiating several hundred more before the cold weather sets in, which makes it appear that some notice should be taken of this worning.
Regent Albert Vander Naillen Jr.,
of Oakland, Calif., has sent in some very gratifying reports on the progress of the Legion in the State of California, which bears out the predictions made sometime ago that because of the enthusiasm shown by the many Legionaires throughout the State that California would soon be making a bid for the premier honors in the men’s Legion. The membership in this State in all Legions has increased many fold and the Frolics and entertainments have been given in a manner which has shown careful management and splendid Legion enthusiasm.
